Ingredients

Putting It All Together

  1. Preheat oven according to directions for biscuit dough (usually 375°F).
  2. Place Mussels in a medium bowl. Add olives and mix gently.
  3. Dust cutting board or clean surface with flour. Take each biscuit and roll out to a 6” diameter. Dust with flour as needed.
  4. Fill each biscuit round with mussel mixture, approx. 4-5 mussels in each. Fold biscuit dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges tightly with a fork. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. In a small cup, beat egg with 1 tbsp water until well combined and frothy. Brush each empanada with egg mixture.
  6. Bake empanadas until golden brown, approx. 10-15 minutes.
  7. Serve hot.
